#1 Since this is only about 1% of the income for 2007 I don't feel for them. A half notch on the fiscal belt should take care of it.

#3 "That means that $850,000 in support we were counting on from these foundations in 2009 simply won't exist." The ACLU reported $80 million in income in 2007.

Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet set the standard for disappointed investors. Just sayin.

#4 Of ALL the possible places in Rantburg where the Sympathy Meter icon should have been displayed, this is arguably number one.

ACLU got scammed by crooks? I thought that was barred by professional courtesy, but since it's not,

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And on top of that, the lefty scumball Harold Pinter just died. Christmas is arriving later than expected!

A three-fer! And they say that Santa Claus doesn't exist.

Just as an aside - there once was a time, when I used to respect the ALCU, AI, and HRW, back when they used to be - or at least appear to be - fairly even-handed, and politically neutral. AI and HRW used to have some respect, some shreds of standing. But all that seems to have been pissed away. Now I hold them in indifferent contempt.
